  1. I wish I could take credit for it's discovery (LOL, I could write med journal or two) i just stumbled on it one night, because I want to live forever... but I do wish the VETS that are doing it would chime in more often...
  2. No I got it lol I was up since 6am drinking Matcha lattes 😂😂😂
  3. Also IMHO if your intake is greatly reduced choose the VERY BEST quality foods when you can. But I'm a snob about stuff like that...
  4. 🎉🎉Congrats! Now it's a party 🎉🎉
  5. The goal isn't necessarily to eat less but to eat less frequently so that hormones responsible for fat storage, inflammation, cancer cell growth etc are turned off. That's why we do the fasting/non fasting window periods. It's like a light switch. On off. Regulating some hormonal & metabolic changes previously believed to be out of our direct control (or coming very close)
  6. Generally close to your normal calories, maybe only under if you weren't hungry. but if I remember correctly you were on the lower side already so perhaps this is fine?

  11. Regular 16:8 fasting for me, but hydration challenge begins today so most of my meals were right before and after the gym. Done already. One last vegetable meal later. So a bit more tea and coffee then lots of pure water.

    1 year Post Op (BUT ISSUES...)

    Not a RNYer so take with a grain of salt... 1. Maybe electrolytes are off, especially potassium. Try that first to see if it improves. 2. Alcohol is now absorbed differently creating the possibility of a new addiction where none resided before. Some call it transfer addiction but it can be just plain addiction too. Careful. 3. Patches and gummies. If you can set it and forget it or it tastes like candy you may be more inclined to take them. 4. Contact your team for everything big or small. Even if it's just an email. They should be able to guide you. Demand it. I'm sure you paid good money for optimal health. Congrats! You look great and deserve to feel that way too. Safe Journey!
  16. ❤❤It's November my loves!❤❤ Let's take it up a notch & get slightly stricter (in any one area of your choice) to see if anything changes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I am going to exercise more despite pop up issues because Summer bodies are made in the Winter (but no one ever tells you how 😥

    Glass of wine week 5 post op

    IMHO Focus on the basics for a while: vitamins, water, protein, fruits & vegetables. If those things are currently troubling you, you're not ready for empty nutrition liquid calories. They will halt progress. But as an adult, the choice is always yours. Safe Journey!

    Need help week 5

    If you feel out of sorts go back to the stage you had no problems with and advance slowly. One specific product troubling you, try a few others for a while. Please tell your team are struggling and need a plan. They will help you, that is their job. Your NUT must provide you with adequate info and help. Safe Journey!
  21. Grandma deserves a 5th... Nice job!
  22. Sounds like you have the basics! Plus the added hydration benefits (if you choose to go above 64oz) will move things around too. I've seen it personally.
  23. I only take the tour when membership is confirmed! Lol Almost boo'd up!
